TACO SALAD BOWL
Method
TACO SALAD BOWL
- 1
Marinate the Carne Asada
In a bowl or resealable bag, whisk together lime juice, orange juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the flank steak and turn to coat evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours, turning halfway if possible.

Cook the Carne Asada
Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry. Heat a grill pan or heavy skillet over high heat with a small amount of oil. Sear the steak 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium, depending on thickness. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 to 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

Build the Bowls
